What To Do If You Suspect Heatstroke
A heatstroke is a very severe and potentially fatal condition. If you or someone else appears to feel the effects of a heatstroke, you are advised to call 9-1-1 immediately. While you wait for medical assistance, it’s important to work to cool down the person or persons suffering from heatstroke.
● Get them to shade or take them indoors, out of the heat
● Remove any excess clothing
● Put them in a tub of cool water, a shower, or spray them with a garden hose.
● Wet towels or ice packs can be placed around the person’s head, neck, underarm, and groin areas.
